Actually they did. They took my money without asking me whether I wanted to give it to the Vulcan or not. They did that to the vast majority of us didn’t they? Or didn’t the lottery grant actually happen? 😀

Well if you’re silly enough to play the lottery then you deserve to have your money given away willy nilly! 😀

Every other act pays its way, why can’t the Vulcan?

Let’s just deal with facts for a minute.

It does pay it’s way and receives no subsidies from airshow gates, the Government or the MoD.
It gets money from various business and industry sponsorship, merchandising, display fees and from public donations. End of.

IS there a Vulcan effect or not? In the end it doesn’t matter as they get no extra money from the shows themselves anyway regardless of the amount of people who turn up through the gates.
Airshows are free to choose who they want to display. If they choose the Vulcan then it’s because they feel the public want to see it and pay for the display accordingly.

No, you can’t prove or disprove the so called Vulcan effect, just like you can’t prove or disprove that the Vulcan is taking donations away from other aircraft.

That’s about it really. 🙂

Spotted a Sea Vixen and Gnat doing a couple of circuits over Hurn airport before landing tonight. 😀

According to what I’ve read, it’s going to be painted with the FMK-O code and in the RAF training scheme that it wore at RAF Driffield.

Heard a rumbling prop earlier today. Thought it was going to be a Herc but was surprised to see an Electra flying out of Hurn. 😎

Probably the Atlantic Airlines one.

Great to see it fly, but that was some pretty shoddy camera work there! 😮

Congrats to the team involved though. Will hopefully catch it at a show sometime wearing it’s new scheme. 🙂

Fridays newsletter said they had enough money to cover overheads for the next six weeks.

“However in the short term, we are in real danger of running out of cash before our plans come to fruition. We have just enough to cover our overheads for the next 6 weeks, but right now, have had to cut right back on any development activities because we simply do not have the cash.

What happens after that is anyone’s guess.
